Volunteer
Volunteering for the Friends and/or the Monument is a rewarding way to contribute your time and skills to helping the park. There are a variety of opportunities to suit anyone’s interests and skills.
For the Friends
The Friends enthusiastically welcome volunteers to help organize and publicize events, raise funds, put out the newsletter, and otherwise keep the Friends active and effectively supporting the park.
Volunteers for special events are always needed. For more information on volunteering for the Friends, contact Sally Maertens.
For the Monument
Volunteer positions are also available at the Monument itself. Many volunteers work with the public, interpreting the park’s resources and staffing the front desk. Others work behind the scenes to maintain trails, photograph the park’s museum collections, catalog the library, and perform other vital tasks.
